Post extraction pain: See the dentist that did your extraction ASAP. There may be an infection or healing abnormality that needs to be checked.

Possibly: But it can be for an entirely different reason. Please return to the Doctor that knows you best, the Dentist or Oral Surgeon who treated you, for a post-surgical reevaluation. Any pain, bleeding, or swelling deserves investigation.
